It is with great sorrow that I inform you that my school mate and renewable energy soul mate of 45 years Goeff Moxham died while cutting wood to make biochar. Thayer you have information on Geoff's project as it was featured in the IBI newsletter and I would appreciate if we could put a short story in the newsletter announcing his passing.
Goeff was renown for his smoke bombs at high school and he and I use to concoct evil brews together in our science classes. He was a pioneer in a range of renewable energies and was involved in a developing sustainable community in Northern NSW. He was also a great teacher and inspired many younger people to follow a path of sustainability. He was a presenter at the May Biochar conference in Australia and was planning to get local manufacture underway in Northern NSW.
His funeral and wake are on friday and it is probable that he will be serenaded with the biochar blues.
Regards
Stephen
